Chapter 734: Chapter 734: Being on the Defensive
“You should be clear about this in your own heart,” Lu Yichen glanced at Old Master Lu, “For the lives of my parents, what do you think should be done in return?”
Old Master Lu choked up for a mont, a flicker of fear crossing his heart. “Yichen, do you really intend to be so ruthless?”
“No matter what I have done in the past, over the years, I have raised you and done my utmost. After so many years of affection, can’t you leave even a little bit of sentintality?”
“Affection?” Lu Yichen looked up, his voice cold. “Do we have such a thing between us?”
“Yichen, we—”
Old Master Lu had barely started speaking when he was interrupted by Lu Yichen.
“I have already investigated everything clearly about what happened back then,” Lu Yichen’s icy words continued, “The reason you adopted was simply because of that property. The position the Lu Family holds now has received a lot of help from our family’s wealth, hasn’t it!”
Word by word, sentence by sentence, Old Master Lu was unable to refute.
After giving Old Master Lu a cold look, Lu Yichen continued, “Cris have perpetrators, debts have debtors. That’s why I am only settling accounts with you, I won’t bother with the rest of the Lu Family. I’m giving you three days’ ti, and then I’ll see the outco.”
“If you are unwilling to pay the price that is due, then don’t bla for making the entire Lu Family pay the price. After all—”
At this point, Lu Yichen looked around at the understated luxurious decorations of the Lu Residence, his face filled with even more scorn, “The rise of the Lu Family was also due to the wealth left behind by my biological parents. It makes perfect sense for to destroy it all.”
Such cold and ruthless words made Old Master Lu’s breathing montarily stop. He never doubted that Lu Yichen was boasting; Lu Yichen had the ability to truly destroy the Lu Family.
After a long while, Old Master Lu finally spoke with a defeated air, “Okay, I understand.”
Lu Yichen got up, glanced at Old Master Lu, and continued, “You’re probably not in the mood to eat the al today. I’ll take Yaoyao and leave first.”
After speaking, without waiting for any reaction from Old Master Lu, he turned and left.
—In the dining room—
Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao sat opposite each other, with a table full of delicacies before them.
After leaving the living room, Lu Yichen had taken Zhong Niangyao straight out of the Lu Residence. They then went to a restaurant for a al.
“The flavor in this restaurant is quite good.”
Lu Yichen peeled a shrimp and placed it in Zhong Niangyao’s bowl, “Try it! The ingredients here are all fresh today, see if you like them.”
In front of Lu Yichen, Zhong Niangyao naturally had no reason to be polite. She began to eat heartily.
“How did your talk with Old Master Lu go?” After eating for a bit, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but ask, “You two must have laid all your cards out on the table by now!”
“Mhm,” Lu Yichen nodded, then said, “Whether he’s willing to admit it or not, what he did, he did. I gave him three days to co up with an explanation for himself.”
“Oh!” Zhong Niangyao raised her eyebrows, “And what if three days pass and he still hasn’t done anything?”
“Then the entire Lu Family will pay for what he did back then.” There was not a hint of hesitation in Lu Yichen’s words, “The wealth of the Lu Family was also gained by stepping on others.”
A flash of understanding crossed Zhong Niangyao’s eyes, “It seems you’re giving a direct notification, not a choice.”
“He still has the option to save himself,” Lu Yichen said indifferently, “But he knows very well that he can’t escape this. He will make the most appropriate choice.”
Zhong Niangyao nodded, “What are your plans regarding the Lu Family?”
“The people of the Lu Family don’t know,” Lu Yichen shook his head and continued, “I will not be utterly ruthless. However, even if I do nothing, without Lu Kun, the Lu Family won’t amount to much.”
Over the years, the Lu Family had managed to maintain their position as the foremost family thanks to Old Master Lu being the stabilizer. Without him, the Lu Family would quickly decline.
Zhong Niangyao chuckled lightly, “That’s good as well. But without Old Master Lu, what about our marriage? Are you going to deal with Grandpa and Grandma yourself?”
“Why not?” Lu Yichen’s lips curved into a pleased arc, “Even without the Lu Family, I will give you the most perfect wedding.”
Zhong Niangyao smiled and nodded, then spoke a bit wistfully, “After the wedding, we have to leave here and return above the Nine Heavens.”
Seeing her expression, Lu Yichen knew what she was thinking, “Is there anything in this world you can’t let go of?”
“Yes!” Zhong Niangyao laughed, not denying it, “The goodness of Grandpa and Grandma towards , you are aware. If there’s anything in this little world that I can’t let go of, it’s just the two of them.”
Lu Yichen said nothing.
Their departure was destined. They did not belong to this small world from the beginning; leaving was a matter of ti.
They had appeared in this little world only because soone had sched against them. They had to return and deal with this affair. Otherwise, nobody knew what the person behind it all might do again.
Moreover, for the person behind the scheming, they harbored deep hatred and naturally hoped to resolve it soon. The longer they stayed in this little world, the likelier it was for that person to discover them. Who knew what that person might do by then?
Such outcos would not be good for the people around them.
Zhong Niangyao continued, “Yichen, once we have dealt with that person, I will want to return to this little world.”
“As you wish,” Lu Yichen obviously did not object.
However, he was still sowhat worried in his heart. How long they would have to be away was an unknown. Whether Old Master Zhong and Old Madam Zhong would survive until that ti was uncertain.
He worried that if Zhong Niangyao ca back later and they were gone, she would be very sad.
Seemingly aware of what Lu Yichen was thinking, Zhong Niangyao spoke cheerfully, “Grandpa and Grandma will definitely last until I return. I have already made preparations.”
Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Lu Yichen frowned involuntarily, “Yaoyao, have you done sothing?”
To speak with such certainty, Zhong Niangyao must have had so ace up her sleeve.
